An automated manual transmission/semi automatic transmission works like a manual, in that you can change gears faster thanks to the single or dual clutches. When you put the shifter into gear, the gear shift position actuator uses an electric motor to help engage the gear. If the ECU detects a problem on the transmission GSP actuator circuit, a P0914 DTC will be saved.

- ECU/TCM issues
How to Diagnose the Code?
Diagnosing a P0914 OBDII trouble code can be a complicated process, so the technician should use the manufacturer’s troubleshooting process. This typically involves a number of electrical and mechanical tests, and many times the ECU will have to be updated with new software or put into “relearn” mode.
